State Power and Superheroes America the Mesmerized

August 9, 2013By William C. Lewis

Welcome
to America, where we have such lovely things as police brutality, arms
factories, gigantic prisons, racism, liar politicians, propaganda news
and pornography.
Bomb-making is a favorite American past-time as little worker bees who
sit in factories all day work a nice 9-5 job making spare parts that
are assembled to blow off the limbs of other children in far-away
distant lands. When not doing this, Americans love such leisures such as
recreational dope smoking, prostitution, snitching off neighbors and
cutting each other off on the freeway.
The eighth batman film will be out next summer and you bet, he is
going to go after those “bad guys” again. Actually, Batman is going to
fight Superman. That’s right….as long as we have Batman and Superman and
terrorism to fight abroad and on the home-front, the tanks can
continue being manufactured and drones galore to supplement the boon to
the armaments industry and our collective enslavement domestically
while the NSA photographs our mail and taps our phone calls.
Isn’t it wonderful to live in a nation where leaders can jack their
power up and the citizens’ power down through the use of fear at any
time, by simply shutting down the embassies in the Middle East and
working in coordination with a corrupt, bought off, CIA-penetrated mass
media that will uncritically repeat the decadent regime’s false claims
about “threats,” when the U.S.A. is aggressor number one in occupying
and bombing foreign nations from Pakistan, to Afghanistan, to Somalia,
in addition to planting CIA penetrated embassies in these nations?
Or how about the way in which political dissidents such as Bradley
Manning are given 135 year sentences for acting upon their conscience
after witnessing journalists and children being mass murdered while the
puppet mass media serving the government regime local and national
blares propaganda about on-the-loose non-state “criminals” who don’t
even live in the locality of the majority of the audience watching the
program, entertainment, and sports scores, all to deflect attention from
the crimes of the U.S. government, including Stasi-like spying.
The mesmerized population watching Batman and Superman doesn’t see
anything wrong with the nightmare and those who are awake have been
rendered ineffectual. There might not be any satisfactory explanation
for how America reached this epoch of mass-hypnosis and social control
other than it occurred gradually, in several stages. 911 provided the
blank check for everything from the loss of the fourth amendment to
permanent executive war, completely unrestrained by the legislature, and
even the suspension of Habeas Corpus and Posse Comitatus.
For those looking for things to turn around anytime soon, realize that
the U.S. system must continue producing weapons to facilitate a never
ending state of war psychosis against manufactured enemies that elude
the concrete definition of a state and exist only as an abstract idea
in the mass public mind, reinforced by the threat of state power
violence in the form of surveillance and possible detention for those
whose thoughts speech and actions contradict the government line.
America is a state that serves the police, the war economy in the form
of armaments manufacturers and government researchers and the standing
armies in the different Pentagon branches, along with the corrupt
intelligence services and the Wall Street criminals. Everyone else
civilian is either deemed an enemy, a criminal to be imprisoned or
both.

War, Surveillance, Social Control, Propaganda and the Loss of DemocracyBy William C. Lewis The
United States imperial system of social control implements acts of
atrocity against other nations to steal and take their resources.
Mentally and psychologically brainwashing the population to accept this
act of terrorism against civilians is carefully conducted through the
mediums of film, print, radio and television. Mass media war propaganda
using stereotypes of races--whether German, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese
is a routine process that is used to control the domestic American
population through psychological warfare. Flags,
yellow ribbons, patriotic commercials, television shows are all a part
of this process of genocide that garnered support among the American
people while their nation bombed a defenseless Iraqi civilian population
to control its oil resources.During
World War II, regimentation of the minds of soldiers occurred via
depicting the "enemy" Japanese as cartoon rats to dehumanize this group
so that U.S. soldiers wouldn't think twice about beheading the Japanese
soldiers. The racism and xenophobic war hysteria that drives the population into war fervor stemming from this kind of system was also used against Germans during World War I. Politicians
externalize false threats as a system of control to mobilize the U.S.
population against endless enemies and rob them of their rights
domestically. When consolidating control over their populations civil
liberties through the externalization of this enemy threat, U.S.
political and military elites use of racism as a function or tool to
conduct this propaganda then leads to various laws which are passed that regulate what the domestic population is allowed to do during a war stimulus mobilization. War mongering elites take extreme measures and even use state propaganda agencies such as the Committee on Public Information
or the Office of Public Diplomacy to achieve this level of control.
They employ significant pressures to connect the anger induced into the
population and mobilized externally with any perceived internal
dissent and reluctance on the part of the domestic civilian population
to psychologically support mobilization of U.S. resources for war.President
Wilson's use of the Committee on Public Information to spread
spurious claims to anger the U.S. audience about the evil Kaiser's Hun
soldiers cutting off the limbs of Belgian Babies and the breasts of
Belgian women through the efforts of his propaganda proxy newspaperman
George Creel resulted in the implementation of various laws to subject
the population to internal control and a subsequent loss of liberties.Internal
control of the population occurred through various military and
intelligence agencies that spied on perceived disloyalty as the
legislative and executive branches in this case authorized these
agencies to open mail, censor the telephone calls and the telegraph
under the Trading with the Enemy Act and arrest dissidents such as labor
leader Big Bill Haywood and socialist politician Eugene Debs for
speech, under the Espionage act, all under the guise that these were
disloyal citizens engaged in illegal actions rather than
constitutionally protected first amendment free speech. With
the first wartime security agency, General Van Demans Military
Intelligence Division conducted mass surveillance against the U.S.
population with 300,000 spies that he used as civilian auxiliaries to
root out signs of disloyalty against the war mobilization, known as the American Protective League a cadre of domestic civilian spies.Now
Julian Assange, Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden sit in the same
state of denial of the right to free speech and protection of
constitutional liberties as this same law demonstrates a war of the
American state against its own people and its victims abroad.

August 21, 2013Slouching Toward a Police State DC, the War Crime Capital

by WILLIAM C. LEWIS

Washington D.C. is the capital of a war criminal class that
harvests the blood of Americans to fight wars abroad for resource
control and domestic psychological control. War time stimulus measures
are routinely implemented to deceive the masses into a state of shock
and perpetual mobilization towards external colonization against target
groups whose natural resources are coveted by Washington and western
oil conglomerates that desire theft of third-world colonial peoples’
land to implement strategic pipelines that run through Central Asia.
Rice flowing from Asia to rebuild post war Japan and other such
factors influenced United States intervention in Vietnam. That nation
was divided along the sixteenth parallel in 1954 by Russia, China and
the United States pending an election that was supposed to occur in 1956
that would reunify the North and the South. The CIA didn’t allow the election to happen and installed a secret police dictatorship.
What followed? The napalming, bombing of South Vietnam and the CIA
assassinations of revolutionary Vietcong and their families for standing
against colonialism.
911 provided the excuse for the American government to attack
Afghanistan and Iraq to control oil resources in the Middle East and
Central Asia. The U.S. installed various military bases in Uzbekistan,
Pakistan, Kyrgystan and made millions for private contracts with firms
such as Kellogg Brown and Root to build U.S. Army Bases in these
countries in addition to airbases to bomb nations, including Iraq.
Bases now abound in over 1000 nations and supplement war-time
stimulus measures in which targeted populations are massacred by United
States and NATO forces. Major bases for initiating destructive warfare
include South Korea, Germany, the Balkans, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and
Saudi Arabia among others.
Leaders in Washington routinely invoke the idea that there are
external threats to the nation in a cynical indoctrination of the public
in which the resources of other nations become securitized under
executive doctrines as the property of Americans.
Weapons company profits shift wealth from the public sector into
private hands and tax the wealth of the majority of working and middle
class Americans while jobs lack for the poor, destitute and unemployed.
Assassinations of civilians are a routine occurrence in
counterinsurgency warfare doctrine. CIA has assassinated or planned for
the assassination of over 50 foreign leaders, in Chile, Iraq, Libya,
Panama, El Salvador. Assassinations or plots to wipe out leaders can
take the form of hands, off, step-away tactics used to blow up airplanes
containing CIA targets or it can take the form of backing military
factions whose dislike for populist generals leads them to want to
assassinate these leaders. The CIA will use death squad assassins to
murder political dissidents and religious practitioners of liberation
theology such as Archbishop Romero, but they also take part in brutal
assassinations of politicians and generals who are either resisting or
not sufficiently going along with foreign policy objectives of the
military industrial complex or the CIA-mafia criminal syndicate
network, such as Rafael Trujillo (Dominican Republic), Ngo Dinh Diem
(Vietnam).The CIA functions as an appendage to the mass murder war
machine and protects the wealth of the Wall Street elite.
Innocent civilian lives are snuffed in an absolute disregard for human
rights, sovereignty. Women and children are massacred by the United
States military and the CIA which targets them for assassination via
operation Phoenix style counterinsurgency concentration camp programs.
Anticommunism is the basic function of these U.S. policies around the
world which massacre third world indigenous nations when not
interfering with their electoral processes or damaging their
infrastructure. Arms deals are a routine factor in explaining this
process for which indigenous rights are snuffed at the expense of gun
profits, Euro-racist conquest and perpetual war under the national flag
that supplements killer teams taking innocent lives for the blood of a
dollar made for the profit share-holders returns. The ugliness that
characterizes U.S. imperial war also includes torture in a secret system
of bases where men are tortured without trial and due process of law
under the U.S. constitution. U.S. bombs are a routine factor in
terminating innocent lives and explains how the profit motive erases any
value of other races as expendable.
Protesters habituating drone base sites where command and control
systems function in routine slaughter of innocent civilians in Pakistan,
Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq the Philippines and Niger are
treated as criminals and meted with heavy federal prison sentences
while sociopathic desk murderers following the orders of state war
criminals are free to kill random civilians whose faces they have never
seen. A police
state will use rationales for the extermination of other groups based
upon their race and generalize that attacks against that race that
liken them to animals or insects so that rational thought is
short-circuited towards slaughtering, confiscating their wealth and/or
moving that group into concentration camps. Millions of dollars have
been spent by the Pentagon for the initiation of the process of
genocidal domestic counterinsurgency within the U.S. in the form of
paramilitary teams that include various federal, state and local
agencies. The plan may very well be to meet domestic unrest to suppress
the U.S. public in a war of genocide as has been the historic case in
third world nations under U.S. police-state imperial control. The
Office of Public Safety functioned as a CIA front and is a subdivision
of the USAID, which conducts civic action programs serving as cover for
CIA police state infiltration of target groups that resist American
Imperialist genocide. Informant cadre networks are constructed that
target and assassinate revolutionary and guerilla leaders in general.
Slavery and war resemble each other through the prism of the Guantanamo
detainees—many of these men were sold for bounty to the U.S./NATO by
the Northern Alliance warlords. These men are still in prison camps in
Bagram and Guantanamo and secret sites in Somalia where they are
tortured via water boarding and forced feeding.
The U.S. congress should re-assert their power to declare war so that
they can reject permanent endless war that has no place in a
constitutional republic where these powers are used to deny freedoms,
including the fourth amendment. A lack of privacy and a fear to speak
out against war crimes due to possible detainment under the National
Defense Authorization Act under the guise that political dissidents aid
the omnipotent enemy of “terror” is a lack of fundamental human dignity
for U.S. citizens. A permanent war threat state is not conducive to constitutional governance nor is it amenable to a democratic society.
Endless enemies to mobilize the population against creates fear,
hatred and armaments sales as new weapons are tested out on subject
groups whether in Iraq, Panama, Vietnam or Afghanistan.
Contrary to what most people believe about the U.S. invasion of
Afghanistan, it was not about apprehending those who perpetrated the 911
attacks but rather to establish a pipeline to funnel Caspian Sea oil
from Turkmenistan through Afghanistan and to Pakistani ports near the
Indian Ocean.
Article I section 8 of the U.S. constitution was designed to restrain
the power of the Executive by making sure that the power to declare war
remained within the sovereign assembly.
It is expected that an imperialist war criminal nation that murdered
millions in Indochina and Iraq will find Bradley Manning guilty of
committing crimes to mask the real crime which is mass murder in
multiple countries. Manning’s exposures only reveal a kernel of what the
U.S. is responsible for globally through covert operations and direct
military interventions in El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama, Vietnam,
Laos, Cambodia, Iraq and Afghanistan.
